Enable breakpoints id 0 and id 5:

PS C:> enable-psbreakpoint -id 0,5

Enable breakpoints 1 and 3:

PS C:> $bpoint = get-psbreakpoint -id 1, 3
PS C:> enable-psbreakpoint -breakpoint $bpoint

Create, disable and then enable a breakpoint on the "ss64" variable in the script demo.ps1:

PS C:> $brk = set-psbreakpoint -script demo.ps1 -variable ss64
PS C:> $brk | disable-psbreakpoint -passthru
...
PS C:> $brk | enable-psbreakpoint -passthru

Enable all breakpoints in the current console:
